PROTECTING WOMEN'S HEALTH RESEARCH
(Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join millions of American
women in condemning Trump's attempt to gut funding for women's health
research.
The Trump administration has rescinded women's research projects at
an alarming rate. These projects include lifesaving research on early
breast cancer detection and so much more. Trump even shut down the
Women's Health Initiative, our Nation's largest and most consequential
women's health study.
Millions of women's lives are at stake. That is why I led my
Democratic Women's Caucus colleagues in demanding that Trump
immediately reverse course. I am relieved to announce that the
administration heeded our call and the heartfelt appeals of our
constituents and restored this crucial funding.
Mr. Speaker, this fight is far from over. The Trump administration is
waging a war on science and women. We must stay vigilant, and we will
fight back.
